Many billions of years ago the entire universe was empty, no planets, no sun, no moon, nothing was in existence…. But then something amazing occurred, out of nothing it appeared the first planet, our world called “Earth”. When the world first began there was no land,no animals,no humans,nothing but only the sea and the sky, and between them was a lonely pigeon flying, it was the only creature in the world. One day the bird which had nowhere to land started to feel tired of flying around, the sky and the sea started to fight to get the pigeon by trying to catch it, so in order to get peace the land created itself, and restrained them from fighting, the pigeon landed on one of the islands to build a home.The pigeon found a seed, one day the pigeon threw the seed on a wave to see what would happen and it started to grow two plant stems from it, from one came out a man and from the other a woman. Then the land which was the maximum authority intervened and said that if they wanted to live in there they should marry. So they did, many children were born to the couple, and from them came more people.After a while the parents grew very tired of having so many useless children around, and they wished to get rid of them, but they didn´t knew a place to send them because all that existed was the little land they lived in and the sea. Time went on and the children became so numerous that the parents had no peace. One day, in desperation, the man got so sick of having to live with many people and started to scare away the little children.This act frightened the children they didn´t knew  why his father was so angry so they ran away in different directions, seeking hidden on the palm trees, some concealed themselves under the rocks, some ran outside, while others hid in the fireplace, and several went to the sea.Now it happened that those who went on the palm trees later became the chiefs of the islands, and those who concealed themselves under the rocks became slaves. Those who ran outside were free normal men, and those who hid in the fireplace became negroes while those who went travelling into the sea came back as the white people, the places they went , converted them into what they are now, that is how one person of the earth divided the whole humanity, and with this created the social classes.

 

 

Moral: One action can altere more than you think, you need to be aware on the effects of what you do, in order to keep things as they normally are, and not having irreversible consequences.
